Teacher ‘who took virginity of her 16-year-old pupil told nervous boy “it’s your first time, it was great”‘ before she became pregnant with his baby

A teacher who ‘took her 16-year-old student’s virginity’ told the nervous boy ‘it’s your first time, it was amazing’ before she became pregnant with his baby, a court has heard

The jury was shown video interviews the student – known as Boy B – gave to police after Rebecca Joynes, 30, was arrested for a second time following allegations she had sex with the boy after they ‘started messaging on Snapchat’.

During the interview, the boy described losing his virginity to her in her luxury apartment in Manchester.

The student said: “It was obviously my first time, so I was nervous,” the youngster said.

Afterwards, Joynes reportedly told the teenager, who feared he had not performed well, “It’s your first time, it was great.”

Manchester Crown Court heard the maths teacher ‘shamelessly’ continued the relationship while on bail and awaiting trial for ‘grooming’ and having sex with another 15-year-old student – known as Boy A.

Joynes denies any sexual activity took place with either teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.

Boy B said he kept the affair a secret from his parents for 18 months, during which time the couple had unprotected sex dozens of times. He claimed Joynes insisted she had a condition that made it unlikely she would become pregnant.

But on a ‘date night’ – the night before she was arrested for a second time – Joynes scattered rose petals around her flat and organized a sex game full of ‘surprises’ for the boy, the court was told. The game involved an Ann Summers scratch card with sexual activities and hidden notes, leading him to discover that she was expecting his baby.

“It was a baby grow in the end,” the boy said. “It said something like, ‘Dear Dad’ (on it) and I was like, ‘What the fuck!’

“She started crying and I started crying because we weren’t sure if we were going to get rid of it or not.

“That was probably the lowest point, we were irresponsible. It’s my own fault. I also thought, ‘what the hell am I going to do?’

‘I can’t hide a child. I had hidden the relationship from my parents for eighteen months.’

Recalling the moment to police, he said: “She was crying. She said, “I don’t know if I can do this alone.”

Joynes, who wore a pink baby hat tucked into her pants at the dock, wiped away tears as the witness added: “I have also been thinking about my child’s future. I also want the best for my child.’

In a statement read to the jury, Boy B’s father said his son’s relationship with the teacher had caused a “family rift” because his wife “wanted answers right away” while he had wanted to wait for his son “to tell us ‘. in his own time.’

Boy B’s older brother had known about the relationship but had been ‘stupid’, thought it was ‘funny’ and had not told his parents, the jury was told.

Boy B said he “loved Joynes,” but the relationship deteriorated and she became jealous and controlling, even accusing him of cheating on her with other girls.

He said he eventually realized the relationship was wrong and that he had “sacrificed 18 months for a pedophile.”

Boy B said, “I would tell her, ‘You’re crazy, you need help. You’re a nonce.

‘You should find someone your own age, you are beautiful enough.

‘I think she was playing a game with me. I really loved her, to be honest, and she said she loved me.

“Now that I think about it, it was emotional abuse. She actually mentally abused me. It was mental warfare. I sacrificed eighteen months for a pedophile.’

Under cross-examination, Boy B admitted that he had “lied” to police about the timeline of events, but said he had done so to “protect” Joynes, as they had first met when he was 15.

Mr Michael O’Brien, defending, told him he had not ‘kissed and cuddled’ Joynes the first time he went to her flat and that they had not had sex for the first time in February 2022, as he claimed.

But Boy B insisted it was.

Mr O’Brien said the boy gave a second interview to police saying they would have sex before he left school ‘to put the boot in’.

‘She was carrying my child. I would never, ever do that,” he replied.

Joynes denies six counts of sexual activity with a child, including two while a person in a position of trust, between October 2021 and July 2022.

The process continues.
